Christmas in OK

This year for Christmas we went to Oklahoma. Like an idiot, I didn't take hardly any pictures of us with any of our friends or family while we were there. I seriously am kicking myself for not being better at documenting my life. Anyway, I pretty much fall in love with Oklahoma all over again every time I go back. There's nothing better than that good ole southern hospitality. Life is slower, simpler, and much yummier there. Plus, you can't go anywhere without seeing tons of people sporting their Sooner gear and anyone wearing Sooner gear is an instant friend so I always feel right at home.   Anyway, we mostly just spent our time visiting friends and family. On top of it being the holidays when delicious treats are everywhere, we had to hit up all my favorite places to eat and have mom make all my favorite foods. And for some reason, I subconsciously feel like I have to eat more than my fair share since I only have 10 days to take it all in. I inevitably end up being at least 5 pounds heavier by the time I leave every time we visit and it's worth every pound if you ask me.
This year we had a few Christmas gatherings.  First, we got together with all the cousins and family on my dad's side.  We had it at this gorgeous law office that my cousin Amber's boyfriend works at.  We had a delicious catered meal from Ted's Mexican restaurant (another one of my favorites), took some professional pictures some of which you can see here, heard some stories, and opened presents.  It was definitely the fanciest Christmas our family had ever experienced.  It was really fun getting all the kids together to play and all of us cousins getting together and hear embarrassing stories of each other.  We're all getting so old.  Here's a few pictures I have from that evening.  Matching outfits courtesy of Nana of course.  

I pretty much don't have any pictures from Christmas or Christmas Eve which is just ridiculous but we spent it with Granny G and Aunt Sue and then later with more friends.  We played games, made sugar cookies, and ate TONS of food and sweets.  Scott always starts feeling sick after eating so much there but to me it feels like I'm just getting wrapped up in a nice warm blanket.  Anyway, we had so much fun just hanging out together.  Every time the boys go to Oklahoma, you'd think no one there had ever seen a cute kid before.  They get so much love and attention and are just spoiled absolutely rotten.

Here's some pictures at my Aunt Diana and Uncle Bill's house.  Logan absolutely loves it there.  They have a tractor and chickens.  Enough said.

The boys love Jared, of course.  He seems to have enough energy to keep up with them for hours. 

Every single time I see this next picture I crack up.  Jared was doing a great impression of Grayson throwing a fit for having to take yet another picture.

I should really see if anyone in my family got some better pictures cause I don't hardly have any but here's two more random pictures.

Logan has been begging to go back to Nana and Papa's house since we left.  He insists it's not too far away if we just ride a plane there.  He's no dummy.  Once again my heart breaks that he's not closer to family and that we can't just go over whenever we want.  We had a great time and were so sad to leave.
